A Prague Leader Tries to Bury a Bodies Exhibition, Once and for All

Inspired by a citizen complaint, a district mayor says a Czech law requires the entombing of remains — even if plasticized for traveling shows.

Move the show.

Fighting is pointless.

How a ‘Hamilton’ Super Fan Got Cast in the Broadway Show

He grew up watching Michael Jackson videos in Athens, Tex. Now J. Quinton Johnson is rapping in Broadway’s hottest production, asked to audition before he’d seen it.

Sing along.

Jay-Z Revels in the Catharsis of Confession on ‘4:44’

There are few distractions on this rapper’s raw 13th studio album, which responds to BeyoncĂ©’s “Lemonade” and doesn’t strive to sound like the present hip-hop moment.

"Lead, follow or get out of the way."

How can America have a feel-good birthday when one of the pillars of our 241-year-old republic is under near-daily assault from the highest levels of the government?

The people of the U.S. are sovereign.

Classic Americana in Las Vegas

“Vegas is one of those places that is always changing and always staying the same,” said the photographer Ryan Shorosky, who has been documenting its people for several years.

There are no windows and no clocks in the casinos.
The effort is to hide the passage of time.
Exhausted people are stupid.

You would have to drag me to the Little White Chappel.
I didn't like Elvis when he was alive.
